Here is an example of how in our system, there are no restrictions on the chords that you can insert as a passing chord between any two chords as long as you follow our system!!
In this example we are in the key of Db, and we want to move from an Ab Chord to a Db
Chord. This typically called a V to I Movement.
Its called a V to I movement because Ab is the 5th note of the Db Scale, and Db is the 1st note of the Db Scale, therefore we are moving from V to I (from Ab to Db).
Imagine yourself sitting at the
keyboard the playing the V Chord (Ab) and wondering what chord play as a passing chord before play the I Chord (Db).
With our system the choice is easy. You have at least 12 choices! One for each tone of the scale!!
That's right!
You are free to choose a C Chord, a Db Chord, a D Chord, an Eb Chord, an F Chord, a Gb Chord, a G Chord, an Ab Chord, an A Chord, or a Bb Chord.
What this means is you are going to sound different
every time you go from V to I, because every time you are going to make a different choice!!! And you
don't have to memorize a specific choice because they are all good!!!
The secret is to voice it correctly!!! And that what our course will give you. Those secret voicings!!!!
Don't believe us... try it for yourself with the examples below!!!
In each example play the bass note as indicated with your left hand and or foot pedal. Double up on the bass note with your left hand and play octaves |
